Horikoshi posted his comment on the film on the film's site:
"I did not believe it at all when I heard that they might be making a film, but I have been more than happy since I learned that it was really happening. Not to mention Deku and others' action, I think that the film will have a lot of content, such as a certain character's past that has not been told in the manga story yet and flashy action scenes that can be shown only in a film. You can look forward to it!"
Here is the official teaser trailer for the third season of the My Hero Academia anime as well as a trailer of the series for your viewing pleasure!
My Hero Academia Synopsis: Izuku has dreamt of being a hero all his life—a lofty goal for anyone, but especially challenging for a kid with no superpowers. That’s right, in a world where eighty percent of the population has some kind of super-powered “quirk,” Izuku was unlucky enough to be born completely normal. But that’s not enough to stop him from enrolling in one of the world’s most prestigious hero academies.
